moisture content of 20% provides 4.2 kWh per kg
wood. Wood with a moisture content of 15%
provides 4.4 kWh per kg wood. Freshly felled wood
has a moisture content of 60% and only provides
1.6 kWh per kg wood.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the appliance door and in the flue. The
water vapour will condense in the appliance and
can leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-
ney fire.

Lighting

You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two to three layers of kindling crosswise on
top of the logs.
3. Place a firelighter between the bottom layer of kind-
ling and light the firelighter according to the instruc-
tions on the packaging.

4. Close the appliance door and open the primary
and secondary air inlets; see the following figure.
5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there
is a glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel
and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking
with wood".
